I went to check out JR's shop. Here are our (soaked) bikes in a freight elevator as we ride up to the place where the bikes are.

I picked up some wheels from him, here's one of his bike closets. It's hard to believe how much stuff he's got, I couldn't even begin to capture it all, and this was just one of the rooms.

Here's how I ended up carting the wheels home. These are some low-end double-wall Weinmann wheels. Nothing fancy but better than the original crap that came on The Goat. I'll swap knobby tires onto these wheels, as they'll be used mostly for singletrack/cross country duty.

Oh yeah. I got some pretty strange looks. Closer to downtown, people probably thought I was homeless. Several homeless in downtown carry all of their possessions on their bikes. As such, you'll see Huffy and Roadmaster bikes with front and rear panniers just loaded to overflowing like this.

JR's shop is at a private location, he doesn't have a store front. If you email me your phone number using the contact form on the right side of my page, I can put him into contact with JR and I'm sure he'd be more than willing to help you find the parts you need if he has them.
